hold president obama under 40% among the white vote to -- so that obama doesn't hit 50%. so if president obama ends up getting 80% of the minority vote, 40% or more of the white vote, that means that he's going to be at 50% or above. that's a great way to look at this election just by measuring all the demographics and looking at them. >> in the key swing states, the latest nbc news poll looks at colorado, iowa, wisconsin, and look at how these are framing out with the president ahead in all three. >> again, hitting that 50% mark. i can't stress enough how important that is. you see in the battleground states of colorado and wisconsin, president obama with a five-point lead. in iowa, a state that had been problematic for obama the past three or four months, up eight points. you're seeing things all breaking in this direction right now with six weeks to go. >> all right. how likely is it that this poll could change as we get closer? this is obviously posts-convention polling. we're now 11 days out from the very first debate. how much wiggle room do you think there is betwe

president obama carried all three of them. if he could carry two of them this time it makes it very difficult for mitt romney to get a path to 270 electoral votes in the white house. so i think we see already an enormous amount of tension, millions of dollars worth of ads being aired in places like columbus and tampa and norfolk. so at the moment, these states are looking a little better for president obama. florida has been a tough one for him. ohio has been surprisingly good for the democrats. these are really i think the states to watch. >> but you know, reid, the obama and romney campaigns are fighting so hard for those undecided voters. but if you look at all three states, bringing up a graphic here, only 2% of likely voters say they might even vote differently than they intend to right now on election day. so can we expect anything to change by november? >> what is an undecided voter? who can be undecide the at the moment when the romney campaign, the obama campaign and all the outside groups have spent more than $100 mi

i think president obama did act like a president this week. >> along the lines of the 2004 barack obama hope and change and john mccain maverick, how would you describe mitt romney's strategy? what is the underlying theme here? i'll go to you first, michael. >> i think that's to be rather frank about it, i think that's part of this challenge that the romney team faces. going back to your first question, the foreign policy issue was not a forefront of the tis cushion. it sort of crept into the debate. i don't think there is a central theme, core theme that really distinguishes the foreign policy of barack obama from a foreign policy of a president obama. that's something that given recent events the obama team -- or the romney team has to do and do so in a very presidential way. >> governor? >> i think michael's right about that. but historically there hasn't been a lot of difference between republican and democratic foreign policy. i think george w. bush was an exception. i don't think a democratic president would have sent us to war in iraq. generally speaking, the american foreign pol

the obama ticket is actually outperforming them in those states. they've held about 29 events in that period compared to about 24 for the republicans. so, while there's a lot of calls for romney and paul ryan to be hitting the trail a little bit more, and to be doing a little bit less fund-raising, you're seeing exactly the opposite happening on the ground. so mitt romney spent yesterday in pennsylvania. that was not exactly a battleground state. they're not even running ads there right now. so it's a little bit of a head scratcher when you take a look at where they're spending their time. how they expect to pull this thing out. >> you know what's interesting about this, too, aimee is the president's came totally lowering expectations on the debate front. is there a theme, a general theme being struck by the president's team on all this? and how much debate prep is the president actually doing, given it's been a pretty busy cycle for him in terms of running things from 1600 pennsylvania avenue? >> well, yeah, they're saying he hasn't really had tim
